Verse 1
Boots in the mud, whiskey on my breath,
Life dealt me cards, some pain, some death.
Mama cried prayers, daddy broke his back,
I carried them scars like a heavy sack.
Verse 2
She left me cold, love turned to dust,
Said forever, but forever broke trust.
Cheatin’ hearts don’t ride for long,
I turned my pain into a backroad song.
Chorus
Dirt roads and hard times, still I rise,
Tears in my soul but fire in my eyes.
Country roots with a rap in my veins,
Turnin’ all this struggle into gasoline flames.
Verse 3
Worked two jobs, still broke at night,
Dreams too big but the money too tight.
Homies in the pen, some six feet deep,
I keep their names close when I can’t sleep.
Verse 4
Got a Chevy truck, paint chipped and scarred,
But it’s carried my pain down miles that were hard.
Speakers blastin’, bass hittin’ deep,
Country boy hustle with no retreat.
Chorus
Dirt roads and hard times, still I rise,
Tears in my soul but fire in my eyes.
Country roots with a rap in my veins,
Turnin’ all this struggle into gasoline flames.
Verse 5
Friday night lights, cold beer in my hand,
Cowgirls dancin’, boots kickin’ in the sand.
Heart still broke, but I party through,
Cause pain feels lighter with a rowdy crew.
Verse 6
I seen snakes smile, I seen friends turn fake,
They stab your back for a dollar they take.
But I stand tall, no fear in my chest,
This country boy won’t settle for less.
Verse 7
From the fields to the stage, I paved my lane,
Spit country rap with the hurt and the pain.
If you know my struggle, then sing along,
This is dirt road life in a real man’s song.
Chorus
Dirt roads and hard times, still I rise,
Tears in my soul but fire in my eyes.
Country roots with a rap in my veins,
Turnin’ all this struggle into gasoline flames.
Ending
So raise a glass for the ones we lost,
For every battle, for every cost.
Country rap born from the blood and the grind,
I’ll ride these dirt roads till the end of time.
